What parents say

Father's playgroup

"The father's playgroup has given me the chance to mix with other dads living in the area who are at a similar stage in life, and given me the inner satisfaction that my son has gotten to know me, and still chooses to love me."

"Attending the father's playgroup was great. I learned to do things with my child that I would not normally do, like singing. I was amazed at my son's reaction to the singing activities and to see how much he enjoyed it. Now I make sure we sing a lot more together."

"I think many fathers want to be more involved in their children's lives. This often involves changing attitudes about men and 'caring roles'. I thought the playgroup was a fantastic opportunity for dads to interact with other fathers and spend some time caring for their kids in a supportive environment."
